What privileges/permissions do I need to assign regular (non-admin) users in Win2K for them to be able to use WMP fully?

They need read/write access to the folder “C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Media Index”, and the file “wmplibrary_v_0_12.db” that is in that folder. Note that these privileges should be automatically set correctly in Windows XP. However, in Windows XP, you could be afflicted by this. In some cases (streaming media, radio), the user will also need Full Control on: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{203b1eed-db9f-40fb-87bd-1990982017d2}\Plugins .
